Ice Lines

There is a big puddle of water in a lowest part of the lawn where I watch the ice melt during the day and freeze at night, making the most beautiful patterns. Wavy lines, even sometimes fairly straight lines and my favourite, circles. I haven't been able to find out how or why the circles are formed so I just enjoy them.

Thanks, Liz. Here I have been watching and photographing the receding snow and its strange edge with the revealed dried grass of last fall. It is not beautiful. I am trying to figure out if I will use them...something about birth pangs....hmmm..

Thanks Joan, I know what you mean, I love the ice at the edge of the road that cracks and breaks when you step on it, how the water has run underneath it leaving it a thin shelf. I usually do them in black and white so that what's important to my eye is the form. As you can tell I get distracted by color, although I am longing for it again.
